What My Brother Gabi Taught Me About Mystical Torah (18 Minutes)

show the book there a book a few books that talk about it there's also m m WR exaggeration of the mid right no mid is one of the best mid there is is a he uses hundreds and hundreds of sources he's not like his mid not his own words mid if you look at the back of the book it's a series of 45 50 books you look at the end of it it shows you the sources of every single thing and you see there's footnotes you read these paragraph This footnotes and he shows you where he got everything is you know there's a one so you go to the end of the book chapter one one it tells you where the source is what page number with is average Book You'll see no more than 500 no less than 500 different sources from from from all types of books everywhere so it's all Source it's not like he created out of his own mind uh Rabbi koui was a sadik uh G he uh before he uh would write he would do something called a uh uh sick which means he would stop eating M Shabbat eating and drinking would fast starting M Shabbat until Friday no eating no drinking until Friday how many years ago is this 300 years ago would do this type of fast the whole week you week he would do it do he did it a few times I don't know how how many times he did it he did it Dr no drinking no eating for a whole week but not all no eating no drinking and he's like us on yum Kip where we're like half dead he learned Tora and write the whole time will give him energy non-stop non-stop learning non-stop you know uh learning and teaching and toing everything but also not eating like I said before when you are connected to hem connected to the Torah that's all you need everything else becomes meaningless but it says let's say this mid says 100 billion people left Egypt and that mid says 5 million people left Egypt right so say this says this so who should I hold by when I tell people about well generally the most of they don't provide you really information that is if there's different of opinion it's not usually something that's Monumental to such an extent that it changes Al or anything it's just a details so for example whether there was 5 million people that left Egypt or 500 million people it's irrelevant you still have to be Jewish you still have to uh keep Shabbat you still have to keep you still have to not waste seed nothing changes nothing changes so in general as far as mid in details it's up to you really whether you want to believe it don't believe it I mean generally it's it's part of the oral it's very much real um but some people have an easy time with it some people don't like for example if you look at the midashim about the 12 tribes the 12 sons of Yu uh if you watch the sh we did about it um they're the definition of superheroes now someone like for example my my dad he doesn't really like mystical stuff doesn't like mystical stuff I didn't like mystical stuff in the past either I didn't like the stuff tell me this and this sadik made a miracle I that stuff just didn't sound right to me you know there's a famous with uh an argument between Ros versus all of theim his opinion next to everybody else and as a there's a mish says that if you put the value of all of the all of them in comparison to justos he outweighs all of them he's more than all of them was he the one who said he bring something he would say no one of the Rabb would bring him something you would say he was one of the rabbis of R AKA and it was a major major tadik the point is that one day there was an argument and he said one thing they said something else and he says listen but you know I'm right she say no listen the way that Al is judged is based on the numbers we have where where the majority of the rabbis versus one we rule goes yeah but I'm right you're we don't take based on your uh what you think is right or don't think is right he goes okay but if I'm right right now Hashem is going to split this tree a lightning is going to come down and split this tree and exactly that's what happened lightning came down and split the tree and it said we're sorry we don't take we don't learn all from split trees okay if I'm right the water on the river the water on the river is going to start going backwards backwards going against the stream the water starts going backwards they say we're sorry we don't learn from water going backwards he says he says a few other things but then he gets to the last miracle he says if I'm right there's going to be a b call a Heavenly voice he's going to come down and say I'm right and a b call came down why are you messing with my son rabos don't you know that Al is always like him and they said we're sorry but according to our Tora we don't learn from we don't learn from we learn based on the rules that hem gave us majority here wins later on one of the he would appear and ask him this big argument that they had versus hos you know they put him on after that they kicked they said listen because you went against the rabbis that's it we can't take your judgment anymore they put them away and said they asked they asked what did uh what was hasem doing when this craziness was happening these Miracles were happening what happened at the end when the but call came down which in essence is like an echo of hm's voice it's not his voice but it's like an echo of it what was he doing when we said no Al doesn't go by him he said hasem was laughing he said my I tried to trick my sons but they beat me here they follow the T they did right they were right does not come from a so this is a cool story what happened to him well he continued he ended his rest of his life he was uh not part of the uh of the bedine anymore I mean but uh there was another story where his wife was raban gamel's sister so his wife knew that he was a big sadik so every time you would pray she would interfere with him she would interfere his prayer because she knew that if he prayed start crying and if he starts crying people are going to die CU would listen to his prayer so every day before he would bow she would always interfere with him she would stop him from bowing and then one day she got caught up with something and when she came back she saw that he bowed and she starts crying and screaming saying oh no my brother is dead my brother is dead and then shortly after somebody knocks on the door he's like I'm sorry ma'am it's a big in is dead so says how do you know how do you know how do you know well you Prophet she goes no I knew that your prayer is very big in sham prayed for him to die and I knew that as soon as you feel sorry a little bit about anything Hem Hem will avenge your blood without you didn't pray for him to dieom but he still felt sorry that he's alone and he's not part of the bad de they kicked him out and so on so hasem didn't like it took A Life That's How big he was That's How big he was you learn you learn all this so now the story this very same story story it's very cool story it's very nice story but I have to do chuva because of the story why cuz the first time I heard the story My Brother Gabby told me this story he was trying to tell me the story and I was like really really early in my chuva very very early in my chuva I was completely not into mystical stuff I didn't like it wasn't connecting to it I thought it was crazy I thought it was made up never learned a page of didn't know anything not that I know that much now but this I didn't know so he starts telling me this story he was doing Chu he was much stronger than me and he starts telling me the start I'm like listen I I don't know this stuff just I'm just focusing on or whatever I was learning over there just focusing on something else I don't want to hear it I don't want to hear it and I heard him I know I I I offended him cuz I didn't want to hear what he was saying I know I offended him I'm sorry for it cuz ever since that day I can't stop thinking about it I haven't stopped thinking about it of how wrong I was cuz whether you like it you don't like it doesn't make a difference it's Tor be quiet listen that's it you understand so it's very very important for us to know as part certain types of Torah that you going to connect to certain types of Tora you're not going to connect to it doesn't mean that t you don't connect to is not true it doesn't mean the Tora you don't connect to is not good it means you're not ready understand you're not ready I make sauce once in a while whenever I actually have time not anymore for a long time make sauce spaghetti you know different sauce now to make sauce you could either just throw a bunch of tomatoes in there or tomato sauce in there and that's it heat it up it's fine why you can make sauce sauce you have to put some sugar in it you got to put some salt in it you got to put a little T you got to make some nice sauce but if you put everything at the end after it's already cooked it's worthless if you put everything in the beginning it's also worthless everything has timing everything has to be put at a certain time everything has to be put a certain quantity same thing with your Torah if you just started keeping Shabbat you start learning Kash and all of a sudden somebody tells you oh you want to go learn Z run run you're not ready my friend it can ruin you it can ruin you you're going to learn something it's going to mess your mind up you're not ready for it what do you think they have a hospital in Hal for crazy people for no reason most of the attendees were people that learned Z before their time it's not a joke I Le something I told you a few weeks ago like for a few days okay so you didn't listen to my advice and that's what happens teaching it in the class that I was don't learn don't listen basic stuff yeah you make somebody mentions Z as a source yeah but the really really stuff the stuff that's it's good to clean the soul you know what's the best thing to clean the soul learn that's it's basic basic basic level Jew basic level Jew all this stuff of like high level stuff going to some going to some woods and praying there going to a cave asking for names of angels that's mentioned in the I don't know doing all these different things that learn some learn some learn some basic do that for the next 25 30 years now we'll talk about the other things first learn one one one I'm not taking you 100 one have an understanding of it not even by heart have an standing of the entire one book see this is has two books this a 70 something page 75 76 Pages for the so there two books learn to a point where I can ask you any question about this any question and you know the answer one one then we'll start talking about something else it's not easy it's not easy telling you it takes a long time time you have to become be be means an expert in the entire in the entire the entire before you even think about Z and cabala and all this other stuff there certain things you're just not ready for this is the reason why also I've been thinking more and more about this sh that people ask me about this G 99.999% of people are not ready for it and the people that think that they're ready for it they're not ready for it because every time I make I mention something that happens in G like it's horrible it's horrible so what I decided that I think I'm going to do is that here and there I'm going to throw a little fact here and there I'm going to throw like last week in the uh and Thursday we did we we talked about what happens to people who do or people that steal from Hashem they feed them sand but that tongue they hang it to the ceiling all types of things you know so that's one thing that people get scared of okay so they do for that I'm not going to go into the details but for sex crimes they do the same thing but just with the sex organs anyone a you understand so it's not for everyone it's not necessary you learn the basics you be a basic level Jew that's all you need it's all you need it's all you need all you need basic beautiful Tor learn maybe learn your by heart whenever may actually learn it by heart but actually know what it says understand what it says learn rash to ra learn Mish learn some every day learn how to have patience learn how to have manners learn how to be a human being learn that learn that without being a human being the Torah is considered the Torah is considered disgusting you can have all you can know all the verses in the world by heart you have G you have no manners it's worthless worthless worthless what it says in the tah so you have to understand that the key to Torah is to make you into a human being once you become a good Jew you become a human being then you can build on it but if you don't learn tah or you just start making your own rules then instead of worrying about doing on because it's Judgment Day what are you going to worry about you're going to worry about buying a a white suit so you can wear it to bedet like people do they buy white suit guy just did Chua 6 months ago he goes to buy a white suit goes to to buy white suit you can go to Bess because in the old days they used to wear white so you heard about this and you know him and his friends go buy white suits they barely know any they barely know any they barely know anything from their life they still act like Animals still have no manner still nothing but they want to go buy white suit why don't they just look at what do do look at what he did did you ever see him wear a white suit no why not cuz he wrote in his book in our generation someone that wears a white suit whether it's on Shabbat or Onan this doesn't belong in this generation doesn't belong doesn't belong in Jerusalem doesn't belong doesn't belong says no he doesn't wear white suits it's not style it's not it's not it doesn't belong in our huh the long white do you think white suit I'm talking about white suit white suit not yeah white suit so again it's a it's we we have to stop worrying about the external stuff we have to stop worrying about the things that are far away from us you know the things that we have no idea what they even are focus on the basics because the basics themselves are so significant that even if we learn them every single day night and day 24 hours a day for the next 500 years we still want to know all the basics that's how big the basics are that's how big the basics are
